RH06-T

Bridge Rectifier Overview

The RH06-T is a single-phase standard recovery bridge rectifier manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It features a MiniDIP surface-mount package with four terminals. The device supports a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 600 V and an average forward rectified current of 0.5 A at 40°C ambient temperature. Maximum instantaneous voltage drop is 1.15 V at 0.4 A, while peak reverse current reaches 5 µA at rated DC blocking voltage. Non-repetitive peak forward surge current capability is 30 A for an 8.3 ms half-sine wave. Operating and storage temperature range spans from -55°C to +150°C.

Bridge Rectifier Feature Summary

• Glass passivated die construction ensures stable electrical characteristics and long-term reliability under varying thermal conditions.
• Miniature MiniDIP package design facilitates automated assembly processes and optimizes printed circuit board space utilization.
• Lead-free finish provides RoHS compliance, supporting environmentally conscious manufacturing standards without compromising solderability.

Bridge Rectifier Applications

• Power supply circuits requiring compact surface-mount bridge rectification
• Automotive electronic modules compatible with standard recovery diode specifications

Bridge Rectifier Procurement Notes

Verify the complete orderable part number matches the required voltage rating variant before procurement. Confirm packaging quantity aligns with production requirements, as the standard carrier holds 3000 pieces per tape and reel. Ensure storage conditions respect moisture sensitivity level 1 guidelines to maintain component integrity prior to soldering.

Bridge Rectifier Selection Notes

Select the RH06-T when a 600 V reverse voltage rating is necessary for the specific application circuit. Consider the 0.5 A continuous current limit and 150 ns maximum reverse recovery time for high-frequency switching constraints. Evaluate thermal resistance parameters against available heat dissipation paths on the target PCB layout to ensure junction temperatures remain within specified operational limits during sustained load conditions.

Bridge Rectifier Part Context

This component belongs to the RH02-RH06 series of surface-mount standard recovery bridge rectifiers. All variants share identical physical dimensions and electrical characteristics except for their peak repetitive reverse voltage ratings, which are offered at 200 V, 400 V, and 600 V options. The series utilizes a unified MiniDIP package format designed for consistent automated placement across different voltage requirement scenarios.

Bridge Rectifier Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes must match the 600 V reverse voltage, 0.5 A current rating, and MiniDIP footprint. Verify reverse recovery time and forward voltage drop specifications against original design margins. Cross-reference pinout configurations to ensure compatibility with existing PCB pad layouts without requiring mechanical modifications.

Bridge Rectifier FAQ

What is the maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current?

The device can withstand a peak forward surge current of 30 A for an 8.3 ms single half-sine wave superimposed on the rated load.

Is this component suitable for automotive applications?

Standard RH06-T units are not automatically qualified for automotive use. Automotive-specific versions require qualification to AEC-Q100/101/104/200 standards and IATF 16949 certified manufacturing facilities.

What is the typical thermal resistance from junction to ambient?

The typical thermal resistance (RθJA) is 85 °C/W when mounted on a standard printed circuit board.
